[MOD by APP] Nebtop - Universal HDMI Webtop hack

This MOD by APP is different than the existing MOD by replacing system apks:
1. No risk of brick
2. Ease of use
3. Universal hack for phones and ROMs that has Webtop
Since this app is intended to support multiple devices, see the original post from the Razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1404625 .
Please report the test result in this thread. Whether success or fail and your device, ROM, etc.
It'd be nice to use the "Send" option in the app if it failed.
Thanks!

Your link is wrong, it should be: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t=1404625
EDIT: Oh and there's already a hack to do webtop through HDMI for the atrix, if the thread you posted does something different you should explain more since the OP of that thread does not say that much. What is HD Dock and how would the Atrix have it?

Ow!! Posting on mobile is troublesome
Thanks for your comments! It's very enlightening!

I highly recommend this app. No flashing. No rebooting. I wanted to show my siblings some SNL clips on hulu but I only use my Webtop with the lapdock. I was dreading having to download and extract those two dock and portal apps and changing permissions and ownership. But with this app, all I had to do was download it, install, grant su, plug in the hdmi connected to tv, and press load. My desktop appeared on the screen instantly and the quality was outstanding.
I'm so proud of my phone. Seeing the actualization of one of the most innovative and unique features of this phone was and is immensely rewarding. Motorola is on to something. The future is bright.

If you actually read what the OP posted and the link given you would know the difference!

It works!

Tried this on a fresh install of 2.3.6 from Fruitcakes thread. Everything is working amazing. Better than any previous hack/mod. I had fullscreen landscape going (basically mirroring in webtop), printer selection, Firefox 8, etc.
There are settings selectable which I haven't seen before such as screensavers, and other stuff. (Doesn't mean they weren't there before...........I just hadn't seen them on any previous hacks).

Does your fullscreen landscape mirroring work without lags when playing a game?

He is the one that alerted me to have the OP revised to contain more details and the difference to the existing MOD.
Without him I won't revise the OP that is what you see now. Hehe

There's landscape mirroring working without lag in this build? OMG
Also, is it easily uninstallable by uninstalling the apk installed? Thanks.

Unfortunately, no. This one is just trick, emulation, that Atrix think that is connected to dock.

worked perfectly on stock (rooted with oneclickroot) UK T mobile atrix running 2.3.4
Thanks for the pointer. Cheers

when i click load nothing happens can someone help me?
Edit: sent info and it said my faux kernel is not supported. What kernel can I flash to make it work?
I am on gingermod 3 with faux 1ghz
Edit: got it but does it work on a laptop because i have no choice to go to webtop

The HDMI on laptop should be an output port instead of input port I guess?

That makes sense. But it does show up at a media device. I can play music through HDMI. Which I thought was weird.

EDIT: got it to work on my monitor. but couldn't open anything other then my phone. i have the Debian hack installed could that be the cause of the problem. i am currently wait for my lapdock charger to get here to i can test it out.

Ok i have a problem with this application.
I'm using gingermod 4, and every time i emulate the dock the media center works fine, but when i launch webtop it will load but my touchscreen and touch buttons on the phone go unresponsive till i unplug the HDMI cable
Any solutions?

It sounds like Photon 4G's stock ROM bug - having an unresponsive trackpad on the phone. Is Gingermod 4 based on Photon 4G's ROM or somehow has the same bug as it?
A temporary solution is to remove the dalvik cache of some apks. For example, removing the DockService and PortalApp's dalvik cache and reboot will solve this problem on Photon 4G.

I think he meant to say to clear those apps in the dalvik cache; I wish he'd be more precise and detailed in his answer. I do NOT know how to clear each app in the dalvik cache; I know how to clear the whole dalvik cache in CWM, but to clear each app???

Atrix hd still supports webtop?

Found this lurking around in my system

Yes in fact the desktop dock manual shows how you can use webtop when it's in there... I have not tried it yet though...
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

Actually it does not support webtop because in this way it can reduce the cost of the phone.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app

it's in the manual for the dock, but so are other options that I do not have when plugging in my Atrix HD into the desk dock (no hdmi attached)

through software, it might be possible to enable or install this capability (Lapdock or webtop) in our ATRIX HD ???
Some developer who can give us your opinion?

why would you want webtop ?
I have a lapdock and I use my AHD with it. Chrome or even the OEM browser covers everything I ever needed. the other apps will take care of the document editing and pdf/pps presentations.
I will choose to get all internal storage available over webtop.

The crux is the missing tablet ui without webtop and also the lower resolution. Atrix / Razr HD both using 1280x720, while native lapdock solution is 1366x768. Of course you can use the phone mode (or editing dpi settings in build.prop), but it isn't the same look and feel as with webtop 3.0. there is a lot of loosed space just because of the big softkeys and the wide system bar.
All i want is a native hdmi output or at least a true tablet mode without rebooting. On the other side, i dont need a linux like webtop 2.x, just a tablet look and feel over hdmi on my tv or lapdock.

A little what I've been working on
1, Get all your display size: max out over scan in the settings> display menu
2, Annoyed with the screen backlight on and it draining battery? This app (also on market) works perfectly, if you go into settings> hdmi, auto hdmi detection, the screen will shut it down when you connect and turn back on when you disconnect, just like in the proper webtop.
Be sure to set these while unconnected because it will behave the opposite if you dont. Also good idea to enable shaking wake function for failsafe.
Bad news is the current JB leak doesnt have HDMI support yet, the phone has it so it should appear sooner or later, but if the razr hd has it, we can just use that rom.
3, Ill be finding a call recorder and then trying to have it play back audio through phone speaker next. The lapdock speakers are horrible.
To be honest, you shouldnt be worried about the resolution that much, because the webtop 3.0 was really at hiding the statusbar and giving you your screen space, the current soft buttons do that more, so alot of times you are actually getting more display than before.

Found an app that fixes the audio routing problem.. Allthough its not automatic to switch back to headset/speaker from speaker only when you disconnect from lapdock, i might just cook up a macro to fix that.
What else you need? Hide soft buttons? May have something for that later

name of app to fix sound

Skygo or 3 dot menu?

I will be receiving my new device today and I am having a bit of a dilemma. For the first time, I am considering running my device stock un-rooted as I really like to have the skygo app which will only function on an un-rooted device. The problem is, I know the 3 dot menu will really do my head in.
I am coming from the hox + were this menu can be disabled without root so, firstly, could somebody tell me how prevailent this is at present? Are there still a lot of apps with this problem?
The ideal solution for me would be to have skygo working on a rooted device but I have searched and searched and have not been able to find a solution for this. Is there one?
Also, perhaps a noob question, is it possible to root the device, remove the 3 dot menu then un-root it and still have this modification on place?
Any observations and help would be grately appreciated.

This is also the main reason I rooted. There are still a LOT of apps with the 3 dot menu and it is unbelievably annoying to see that black bar so often. I don't know why htc didn't just leave the option to long press back for menu in the stock Rom.
Sent from my HTC One using xda-developers app

Yes, the 3 dot menu is there for many apps. Yes, it is annoying. However, seeing as the screen is an decent size and I have always had the 3 dots since owning the phone, I am used to it now, it doesn't bug me all that much.
Also, I think there is a decent chance this will be fixed when htc send out an update.
Sky go just recently updated to include working on the HTC one, who knows how long it will last.... Which is why I would say to stick with Unrooted for now if you are a sky go user

Since you already have a HOX+, enable the on screen menu & check the apps you frequently use if they are updated & don't need the menu button anymore. This way you will know if it will bother you or not.

Root the stock rom on your device, disable 3 dot menu, remove the Superuser binaries, install SkyGo. Works a treat!

If someone would like to confirm this as working....
I'd be more than happy with such a solution.

Where I put "Works A Treat" it should read "Should work a treat". I haven't tested it on this device but I had a similar problem getting SkyGo to work on my Nexus 10. I had to root first, edit the build.prop to think it's a different device and then unroot. Worked perfectly.

Im keen to get SkyGo working as well so I will flash back to stock and test. Will report back in half hour or so.

Well it kind of worked. You no longer get the doesnt work on a rooted device message however you do get the Unsupported Device message. This is because SkyGo doesnt officially support the One yet. A news report I just read suggests that Sky are increasing there supported devices next week to include the One and the S4.
I would suggest waiting until SkyGo is updated next week and then try the above method.

Nope, sky go now does officially get support for htc one. I downloaded it yesterday, it mentions this phone in the most recent updates. And I tried it out for a few seconds, streamed countdown fine.
Just to confirm I am on an Unrooted htc one.

[Q] No HDMI - solution? App? CM 10.1

I miss the HDMI-function, but do not want to go back to 2.3!
I know that HDMI is not fixed and supported on any ROM that is not stock-based (I have 10.1) but is there a solution on the way,
or is there a app that actually works on PlayStore?

Try with trial version of Ultimate Rotation Control from app store, i don't know if really work but if we don't try we don't know

Widescreen works if you use the app "Rotate Settings" and set it to Landscape mode.

no such app on play store... can you be more precise?

Sorry, my fault, the app's name is Ultimate Roration Control (here).
It's possible to try it out for 7 days for free trial to see it it works for your phone.
The app only helps you to make the correct mirroring from the phone (landscape, portraite), not making you get the HDMI work if you haven't made a proper build.prop with ROM Toolbox on the phone first.
It's all over internet to read about how that is done. Search on buld.prop + HDMI and you'll find a lot to read about it and how it's done. I'm a complete (oh well....) female noob and manage to fix it!
Also I did notice that using the HDMI cable I bought separately did not work as it was too big to fit on my LG P990. It wasn't being connected properly into the contact on the phone, the plastic is in the way to go all the way in!
By a coincidence I then found the original LG HDMI-cable in a drawer and it's a significant difference between the two in size.
Hope this info helps you guys!

How to make photos clearer with the stock camera app?

Change quality from superfine to 100%
:angel:

Well, all the CM and AOSP roms don't have the same picture/video quality as stock 4.1.2.
Contrast, levels, sharpness, color balance, white point, it's all off in certain light conditions. Video is perfectly fine, but only under well lit scenes, when you don't have as good light, the camera apps don't boost the brightness/levels to make the scene visible, unlike stock 4.1.2. Let me be very clear: if you're taking pictures or video in clear sunlight, then it's not much of a problem. It's when you leave the sunlight that stock 4.1.2 is easily superior in picture quality compared to the other roms. Again, nothing that can't be fixed if you're handy with photoshop or other decent image editing tools. Just a little more work to get nice pictures off the bat.
I think once CM and AOSP roms' bugs are ironed out (since we have sources and devs can have a look at how it's done, not using the leaked code for legal reasons), another point of work could be porting whatever camera processing stock 4.1.2 does back into the camera files of these roms.
Of course I'm just a user and not a developer and my post may come across as a request.. I'd say it's constructive criticism, for the future. For those who don't use their phone much as an imaging device, it's not that big of an issue, the performance increase of these roms is worth it. Again, nothing that some photoshop can't fix, nothing that some premiere editing can't fix either.
